We saw lots of crazy chickens...
pigs...
goats...
and the truly Minnesotan "Princess Kay." There is a court of 12 young women picked every year to be state fair princesses I guess. One is chosen to be Princess Kay - but they all sit in this 45 degree refrigerator for hours while their likeness is carved into a huge block of butter. Truly Minnesotan.

Butter sculptures, that is a new one. I like the chickens with the great heads of feathers. Very fun. You need some of that variety. Does the head of feathers flop as they walk? For some reason Elvis impersonations are running through my mind...
Yeah, I like the feather-headed chickens but the problem with the pretty birds is they're all about being pretty - not really about laying eggs.
I want that last one in the pictures though. She's a blue cochin. One of our neighbors has a blue something-or other, Rhode Island Reds, and a while Americauna. He has red, white and blue chickens for the fourth of July!
Oh, and I don't think the feathers flop too much. More like they wave a bit.
Ah, those pigs are so cute!!!
Oh my gosh, the video of the food on a stick was killing me! Now that Midas sign that I posted on my blog finally makes sense to me!
Yeah, I remember seeing that sign when we were there (though I can't recall what it said now).
Things-on-a-stick: it's a big deal here. =)
